At the time of writing this article Wolverine is still not available on DVD but you really should take a night out to watch Wolverine at the cinema. For the girls there is plenty of semi-clad Wolverine demonstrating his lovely buffed hairy torso on a BIG screen. Guys get to see lots of fighting action with the surround sound only a cinema can offer.

Watching it for the first time on the big screen really gives in the WOW factor. Sure there will be bits you will miss but when you Rent or Buy your Wolverine DVD later on you can fill in those blanks.

The Coraline movie masterpiece for kids



The Coraline movie is here! Neil Gaiman’s wonderful children’s novel Coraline has been transformed into a stunningly enchanting film directed by none other than Henry Selick, the man that directed the 1993 cult classic animated feature ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’. If anyone was able to bring Gaiman’s odd tale of Button-eyed people in a strange vision of our own world, it is Selick. The visual aspect of the Coraline movie is a superb example of stop-motion animation, a filmmaking process that can really be exciting when managed correctly.

Where the Coraline novel was of the same weird and wonderful kind that we’ve come to expect and want from Neil Gaiman, the look of the Coraline movie took several moviegoers by surprise with its array of radiant colour and the method of animation. The Coraline movie is a beautiful thing to take in, and will enchant viewers young and old with its nightmarish story and thoroughly entertaining characters.

The voice talent attached to the stop motion adventures of the Coraline movie is extremely impressive too. Dakota Fanning takes the title role of Coraline herself, and the rest of the cast has a trio of English TV icons involved, including Ian McShane, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders. Teri Hatcher provides the chilling voice of both incarnations of Coraline’s mum. The Coraline movie’s sarcastic cat is voiced by John Hodgman.

It is somewhat fitting that such a strange tale is brought to the screen in such a way as to capture the feel of a dream. Stop motion has that wonderful otherworldly quality to it that CG effects are yet to possess. There is something wonderfully odd about stop motion, especially here in the Coraline movie. It may be the knowledge that the viewer is watching inanimate objects moving around on the big screen, or it might just be that the finished look of a stop-mo movie is so different to various other animated films of the current industry.

While the Coraline movie is not really as jam-packed with lingering images as The Nightmare Before Christmas, it is certainly not missing it’s visual treats. Just look out for the musical parts, the disturbing metamorphoses of the characters, and naturally, the chilling buttons that people have sewn into their eyes in the alternate world. Viewers that haven’t read the original book are in for a genuine treat as they discover the crazy universe that Gaiman created, a world that is like ours, just rather awry.

For people who are familiar with the book (and it has been enjoyed by just as many grown-ups as kids), the Coraline Movie is about as a faithful movie version of the original material as it’s possible to get. This is one children’s movie that will become a much-loved classic for all ages. The Coraline movie is absolute magic.
